MULTIPLE CHOICE
| a. | Identifying underlying pathologic conditions |
| b. | Assisting the physician in identifying medical conditions |
| c. | Determining the patient’s mental status |
| d. | Exploring patient responses to health problems |
ANS: D
A nursing assessment is done to identify the patient’s response to health problems. During the nursing assessment phase, a comprehensive information base is developed through a physical examination, nursing history, medication history, and professional observation. Identifying underlying pathologic conditions and assisting the physician in identifying medical conditions is not part of the nursing process. Determining the patient’s mental status is one part of the nursing assessment, but it is not the primary purpose.

| a. | Functional health patterns |
| b. | Human response patterns |
| c. | Basic human needs |
| d. | Pathophysiologic needs |
ANS: B
The NANDA-I taxonomy identifies human response patterns. Functional components of health patterns are limited to activity, fluid volume, nutrition, self-care, and sensory perception. Basic human needs comprise less than merely health patterns. Pathophysiologic needs are not part of the scope of NANDA-I.

| b. | Nursing diagnoses are written to identify disease states. |
| c. | Nursing diagnoses describe patient problems that nurses treat. |
| d. | Nursing diagnoses identify causes related to illness. |
ANS: C
Diagnostic statements identify problems a nurse is independently able to treat within the scope of professional practice. Nursing diagnoses vary with the changing condition of the patient. The response patterns are unique to the patient and are not disease specific. Nursing diagnoses describe the patient’s human response pattern.
